Exactly. Like the OP said, if I want to watch porn, I'll watch porn. If it's important to the story to know that a couple slept together then you can show them going to bed, starting foreplay, and then fade out and cut back in to after the event. There's obvious ways to show the characters had sex together without actually showing the sex. We know they had sex - move the story along! You can still show a titillating butt shot or boob shot if you're trying to juice up your ratings and still not show the actual sex!

There is a certain percentage of people who don’t want to ever see sex in movies but I think that’s a lot smaller than the group of people who like it where it fits naturally into a well-written story but are turned off when it feels like a contractual obligation.
